Posts Tagged With: Count My Blessings stamp set

I’ve got some birthdays coming up in the next few months so I decided to go ahead and get a card or two made. For this one today, I used the so-wonderful Happy Birthday Thinlit! And – the Count My Blessings stamp set. Take a look-see:

I got the idea for several of the elements from this week’s Tic-Tac-Toe challenge – I went right down the right column…

I started with some chevron-design paper from the Painted Autumn DSP, matting it on Old Olive with Fast Fuse.

The oval was cut from some Wood Textures DSP with a Stitched Shapes die – the largest of the oval dies – and adhered directly to the card front with some Liquid Glue.

Using the Happy Birthday Thinlit, I cut three of the sentiments from Very Vanilla card stock and adhered them together in a stack with Liquid Glue.

I stamped several of the large acorn image from the Count My Blessings stamp set in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla. They’re all colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Bronze Blend for the base of the acorns. The top of the acorns is Dark and Light Crumb Cake and the leaves are Old Olive. Once they were all colored, I spent a little time fussy cutting! 🙂 Hint: If you love the Count My Blessings stamp set – and have been waiting to order it – now’s the time! It’s retiring after the Holiday Catalog goes away – so…it’s only available while supplies last!

About the time I put my Blends back in their new StampNStorage shelf (shameless plug…), I realized that it would be cool to have a couple of acorns popped up on Dimensionals. So – I stamped, colored and cut another set – one large acorn and one small.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the acorns in and around the thinlit die cut and then adhered it all to the card front. I popped those last two acorns onto the top cluster with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, I brushed just the bases of the acorns with my Clear Wink of Stella.

To finish off the card front, I tied three tiny little bows from Linen Thread and adhered them to each acorn with a dab of Liquid Glue.

For the inside, I stamped the large acorn image again in Early Espresso on a Very Vanilla panel. And then I colored it again with the Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Bronze Stampin’ Blends.

Hint. Do not try to color when you’re in a hurry! I mean – you can color quickly – but…don’t try to do it when you’re pressed for time or have something else you need to be doing other than enjoying the creative process.

Whoops.

So – started over and got my acorn successfully colored, then used my Blender Pen to pull some of the color out and around the image to create a shadow effect.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to an Old Olive mat and into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

I repeated the Count My Blessings acorn on the front of my Very Vanilla Medium Envelope – don’t forget the plastic sheet from the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig inside your envelope when you color it with your Stampin’ Blends! I repeated the Blender Pen treatment on this image as well…

Be sure to get your own copy of Count My Blessings right away – it won’t be around much longer! 🙁

CHANGE IN STAMPARATUS RESERVATION WINDOWS!!

YOU NEED TO READ THIS MESSAGE FROM STAMPIN’ UP!

The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we’ve decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

As was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30; however, during this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!

Please note the following changes:

Beginning March 19, we will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).

In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows:

One reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.

Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you and your customers to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Please note what has not changed:

If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.

The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM (MT) on December 5.

We can’t wait for you to get your hands on your very own Stamparatus and look forward to seeing the projects you’ll make with this incredible stamping tool.

I’ve got all the information over on my Promotions page – including a super little video with lots of information on this wonderful new stamp placement tool. Be sure to check it out – peruse the how-to-reserve-your-Stamparatus tutorial you’ll find there, and then mark your calendar for the next reservation window on 5 Dec!!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d be very happy to be your Demonstrator. Just click on the Order Stampin’ Up! Online Now button on the right side of the screen to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. Happy Stamping!

Hey, y’all! Welcome to Tuesday and another fun challenge from Stamp Ink Paper! And – it’s Day Two of the Stampin’ Up! Online Extravaganza – and my Double Peppermint Ordering Special! (More information is down below)

I decided to go with the wonderful Count My Blessings stamp set and I added it to some pretty Painted Autumn DSP. Take a look-see:

I started this one simply enough, matting a piece of leafy patterned paper from the Painted Autumn DSP on some Cajun Craze card stock, adhering it with Fast Fuse.

I made the sentiment panel from a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, stamping the beautiful sentiment from Count My Blessings in Early Espresso and cutting it out with the largest of the circle Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. Then I matted it on a scalloped circle Cajun Craze mat.

To assemble the card, I used Glue Dots to adhere a length of 5/8″ Burlap ribbon in a large loop. Over that, I adhered some berries cut from Cajun Craze using the die in the Pretty Pines Thinlits. There’s also a couple of Very Vanilla pine boughs and Old Olive larger berries – all from the Pretty Pines Thinlits. I used Glue Dots to stick them all on over top of the Burlap ribbon, popping the sentiment on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I made a loopy-bow with some 5/8″ Peekaboo Peach Crinkled Ribbon – I made three loops on each side – in graduated sizes – and tied it closed with a piece of Jute Twine. Then I added it with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I stamped the leafy image from Count My Blessings in Early Espresso on a Very Vanilla panel and colored the leaves with my Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. With my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker, I added a veritable plethora of tiny little dots all around the leaves.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Old Olive card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Early Espresso spray of leaves colored in Old Olive (remember your Stamp-A-Ma-Jig plastic sheet!) and Cajun Craze dots on the front…

…and some more of the Painted Autumn DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I just love this Count My Blessings stamp set, don’t you? And – of course – the Painted Autumn DSP is perfect. I hope you like!

Today, Finn got a little cheated. Oh, he got his run this morning and evening. And some stick keep-away with Mom.

But…the kitties got something he desperately wanted. And they most assuredly did not!

A ride in the van. No – the panthers aren’t fans of any ride anywhere. But – when the destination is the….vet’s! 🙁

Yes – they had to go see their doctor, today. Katy has an allergy – and has now had a nice steroid shot to make the itching stop. And Leo…well. He’s going to have to have his teeth cleaned after Thanksgiving!

Happy Tuesday! Hoping that your week is going well. Mine is…going. Fast. I’m going to look up and it’s going to be Saturday and I’ll be packing to go! But I’m trying to consider that that just means it’s going to be closer to being over AND closer to seeing my friends (and the new Occasions catalog) at OnStage!! And then…coming back home!

Yea. That’s how I’m going to look at it. Pull up my big girl panties and JUST DO IT!! 🙂

Today, though, let’s talk cards, shall we? I made another card using the Count My Blessings stamp set. Take a look-see:

Now – this isn’t my usual color scheme – I used them to play along with the Global Design Project challenge – but I keep forgetting that the deadline is in Australia time. So…Tuesday there is Monday here and I keep missing it! 🙁

I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and, using the leaf image in Count My Blessings, stamped all over it with Lemon Lime Twist ink.

For my four layers with the rounded corners – I decided to tear the edges. The bottom layer is Calypso Coral card stock. Next up is a piece of Painted Autumn DSP – and I sponged the torn edges with a little more Lemon Lime Twist. Then comes another piece of Painted Autumn DSP and finally, a piece of Whisper White. I adhered each piece with Liquid Glue – and then trimmed the excess with my Paper Trimmer. For the the last layer, the Whisper White panel, I stamped the Count My Blessings flower on before adhering it.

To stamp that flower, I used a couple of techniques I learned from Amy Koenders. First I inked the stamp with Peekaboo Peach ink. Then, I used a sponge dauber to add some Calypso Coral around the edges of the flower – giving it a little depth. For the leaves, I used my Blender Pen to pick up the Peekaboo Peach ink – making way for the Lemon Lime Twist (the Blender Pen sort of works like an eraser!). I added the Lemon Lime Twist by coloring them directly with my Stampin’ Write Marker. Then I “huffed” on the stamp and stamped it on my Whisper White panel. And adhered it with the Liquid Glue. Finally, I Fast Fuse’d the card front to a Lemon Lime Twist mat.

My sentiment, also from the Count My Blessing stamp set, is stamped on Whisper White in Calypso Coral ink. I cut it out with an oval Stitched Shapes Framelits die and matted it on a Lemon Lime Twist scalloped oval, cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits. I used Liquid Glue to adhere them together and then popped them on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped another of the Count My Blessings flower images in Lemon Lime Twist across the bottom of a Whisper White panel. Then I used my Peekaboo Peach Stampin’ Write Marker to dab color on each flower. Finally, using the fine-tip side of my Calypso Coral Marker, I added just a touch of that to each flower, too.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat and into my Peekaboo Peach card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done.

Et Voila! While this isn’t exactly my cup-o-tea in the colors department, it’s definitely a cheerful and fun card, yes? And the Count My Blessings stamp set is certainly gorgeous, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it! Hope you like!

My card today is a quick and easy one – that’s also clean-and-simple. It uses the Count My Blessings stamp set and a few other little goodies to help out. Take a look-see:

This one played with a couple of challenges. The first is from Stamp Ink Paper and was the impetus for the clean-and-simple Fall theme.

I started out with a piece of leaf-strewn paper from the Painted Autumn DSP and covered it with a piece of Vellum card stock in the same card-front size. I used Fine-Tip Glue to adhere the Vellum – being sure to only put the glue under the middle portion of the Vellum in order to keep the glue from showing through. Then I Fast Fuse’d the panel on a Cajun Craze mat.

The sentiment, from Count My Blessings, is heat embossed in Copper Embossing Powder on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. That piece of card stock is slightly smaller than the next layer – which is another square of Very Vanilla. I used my Circles Layering Frameltis die to cut a circle from this square – then I embossed the panel in the Layered Leaves Dynamic TIEF. With the de-bossed side up, I popped the square over the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the same size circle die and the next larger scalloped circle die, I cut a Copper Foil frame and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

On a scrap of Very Vanilla, I stamped the Count My Blessings acorn image in Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated it up. Using my Blender Pens and Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Old Olive ink pads, I colored the acorns and leaves. Then I fussy cut the image and adhered it with Liquid Glue (and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional under the leaf) to the panel.

I repeated the Copper embossed image on another panel of Very Vanilla card stock, colored just the acorns, and fussy cut them. I lightly rolled the acorns around a pen to give them some dimension – and then popped them over the first image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off, I tied a small bow with two lengths of Linen Thread and two lengths of Copper Metallic Thread, and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I used the Count My Blessings acorn image again. I inked it with Crumb Cake, stamped it off once on scrap paper, and stamped it in the middle of a Very Vanilla panel.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

Use this host code when you order and receive a free gift from me! But, if your order is over $150, please don’t use this code (you’ll miss out on your own Stampin’ Rewards if you use it) but you’ll still get the free gift.

Mornin’, y’all! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend! We had a great day – smoked some ribs that turned out so good they should be illegal! Spent the afternoon with Scout and her family and a few additional folks. I sort of blew the diet – but…man, oh man, it was worth it!

I have a pretty, clean and simple card to share with you today, made with the Painted Harvest stamp set and the (also new) Count My Blessings stamp set. Take a look-see:

I let two challenges give me inspiration for this one. The first, CAS(E) This Sketch, helped with the layout.

And then the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge helped with several elements…I went across the diagonal from top left to bottom right!

I started with a plain piece of Whisper White card stock and, using the pretty flower image in the Count My Blessings stamp set, inked it in Versamark and stamped it four times. I made the sprays come from a central spot and made them so they’d extend beyond the Painted Harvest flower I was planning for the middle of the card.

I sprinkled the four flower-sprays with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated them up. When it was cool, I used my Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker to lightly color each of the flowers.

For the flower, I stamped the larger image in Painted Harvest several times in Powder Pink on Whisper White. With each stamp, I rotated the image slightly. Then I stamped the second, smaller, image in Sweet Sugarplum – twice – rotating the stamp.

I stamped the middle of the flower twice in Daffodil Delight and then added the small three-dot image in Daffodil Delight multiple times.

Then I fussy cut the flower. 🙂

I dry fit the flower over the gold-embossed sprays, and then stamped the sentiment from Painted Harvest in Versamark and heat embossed it in Gold.

I put a few Glue Dots on the back of my fussy cut flower and used them to wind multiple loops of Gold Metallic Thread round, then I popped the flower onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off the card front, I added a few Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes.

On the inside, I added another Powder Pink and Sweet Sugarplum flower from Painted Harvest. And I finished the middle with more Daffodil Delight.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel on a Powder Pink mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another of the Painted Harvest flowers on the front…

Et Voila! Painted Harvest brings yet another gorgeous flower to life, this time accented by the pretty and delicate flower sprays in the Count My Blessings stamp set. Hope you like! 🙂

This particular standoff lasted quite some time, with both of them just staring at each other. Their expressions were so serious and intense. Getting the stick is important Aussie business. Please note that Hannah is ensuring that no stick-tug rules are being broken.

At the end of the day, he was tired but really happy. And quite ready to go home! 🙂

Mornin’, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend – and are ready for the week!

If you were able to join me last night on my Facebook Live video – thanks for spending part of your weekend with me! 🙂 If not, here’s the video to watch to see how to make today’s card!

I made a card to send to my friend who recently had surgery – and is having a rough time right now. I hope this one, created with the This Little Piggy stamp set from the Annual Catalog and the Count My Blessings stamp set – avail on 1 Sept in the 2017 Holiday Catalog – will bring her a little smile. Take a look-see:

All the card cuts are below and the process to make the “ocean” is in the video, so give that a watch!

I made the ocean with some Color Theory DSP paper in Dapper Denim that I cut with the scalloped die in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. I also dry embossed each sheet in the Seaside TIEF.

On my Whisper White card front, I painted a “sunset” in Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and a touch of Flirty Flamingo with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I added some Pool Party clouds and the sentiment, from This Little Piggy, which is stamped in Dapper Denim.

I stamped two of the flying piggies in Flirty Flamingo on Whisper White and fussy cut them, then colored them in Powder Pink and Flirty Flamingo, again using the Clear Wink of Stella.

I layered all the pieces onto my card front with Liquid Glue, Fast Fuse’d it to a Flirty Flamingo mat, then wrapped some Flirty Flamingo Baker’s Twine three times around the panel, securing it in the back with scotch tape. My bow is adhered with a Glue Dot (I show you how to make that on the video, too!) As a final touch, I added a Dapper Denim Glitter Enamel Shape to the middle of the bow.

On the inside, I stamped the piggy again in Flirty Flamingo on a Whisper White panel and colored her again in Powder Pink and Flirty Flamingo. Over her, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I added the gorgeous sentiment from the Count My Blessings stamp set (available 1 Sept) in Dapper Denim. Then I added a few Pink Pirouette Enamel Shapes hearts.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat and into my Dapper Denim card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done.

Et Voila! This (adorable) Little Piggy is cute enough to make anyone smile when they see her – but…two of them?!? Diving and cavorting in the ocean? Oh yea – I think it’s gonna work! And how gorgeous is the font on that sentiment from the Count Your Blessings stamp set? I hope you like! 🙂
